Description

 

 

 

 

ABSOLUTELY NO COMMERCIAL USE OR SOLICITATIONS.
VIOLATORS WILL BE AGGRESSIVELY BLACKBALLED.

The Chainguard list is for those who have moved beyond debating vehicular-cycling on our roads as compared to paving America again with separate bicycle facilities. The Chainguard list is for those who believe that bicyclists have the right, should expect, and be prepared to demand, safe accommodation as vehicle operators on EVERY road - the concept known as Vehicular Cycling. Vehicular Cyclists believe that, combined with education and relatively minor enhancements, the operation of bicycles as vehicles on our existing road network is the only realistic and environmentally sound approach which can result in any significant amount of bicycle transportation and recreation cycling in North America.

The ONLY correct topic for posts to the Chainguard list is:

VEHICULAR CYCLING ADVOCACY ISSUES

That's ADVOCACY, with an emphasis on effective methods and ideas.

Almost nobody here would disagree with improved sight lines. I also like improved intersections - turn lanes for each direction if the volume dictates it. A

Agreed, we're a general public interest group, not a special interest group. Re the how, I'm not sure it matters so much as to the specifics, rather just get

Re: Safer roads benefit all users
It's hard not to agree with the essay - it doesn't get specific at all. I'm fine with the concept, but I worry about his preferred implementation - he is,
